Are Obama Pro-Death Policies Striking At Sick Americans Now?

May 8, 2011

Public Advocate President Eugene Delgaudio asks: is President
Obama's Federal Drug Administration "Death Squads" visiting sick
Americans and denying them medicine on a grand scale. Or is it just
an unfortunate, coincidental occurence that there is a massive drug
shortage for only life preserving cures that were routinely
available just a few months ago?

Delgaudio asks "I give a shout out to the muckrakers,
the conservative journalists, the Michele Malkins and Sean
Hannities that investigate and break the "code" of this "mystery".
And if Obama's appointees at the FDA are simply and directly
squeezing the drug manufacturers to rush the deaths of Americans,
then Congress needs to get their act together with hearings on an
urgent basis."

ABC TV news reported months ago that drugs for life ending
illnesses are scarcest they have been "in decades".

Many hospital patients are being turned away for potentially
life-saving injection treatments in what may be the largest U.S.
hospital drug shortage in over two decades.

Most drugs in short supply are known as injectables and include
sedation medication such as propofol, the popular blood thinner
heparin, and hard-hitting chemotherapy drugs like doxorubicin.

"I've been in practice more than 30 years and this is the first
time I've encountered shortages that may affect patient care," said
Dr. Michael Link, president-elect of the American Society of
Clinical Oncology.

The article reports of one patient with cancer getting a fraction
of his previous treatment when a full dose of medicine was working
against the cancer.

life-saving medications"

Pajamas says "the shortages are in various injectable drugs
typically administered to seriously ill patients in hospitals."

In a detailed critique of the FDA, pharmaceutical industry
writer Stella Daily Zawistowski observes that the FDA drug approval
process currently costs companies approximately $800 million
